October Issue of Learned Publishing is Now Available!

The October issue of Learned Publishing is packed with fascinating, must-read articles!

If you are interested in open access, this new issue is for you. Our authors this month address piracy and its impacts on the success of open access publishing, challenging both green and gold OA models. In the first of two installments, interviews with senior publishers and editors produces original insights into how and why publishers launch OA mega-journals. And, looking at the broader context of Korean scholarly communications, another article shares the OA models in play in Korea.

Our new issue is rounded out with perspectives of the academic book supply chain and discussion about why it has become so complicated. Last, but certainly not least, we feature an overview of the ALPSP publisher awards presented last month at the Annual Meeting.
